Soma Pavamāna’s purification as the sweet, rite-perfect exhilarant offered for Indra and for the sacrificer’s prosperity
पवस्व मधुमत्तम इन्द्राय सोम क्रतुवित्तमो मदः महि द्युक्षतमो मदः
pavasva madhumattama indrāya soma kratuvittamo madaḥ mahi dyukṣatamo madaḥ
हे सोम! इन्द्र के लिए मधुमत्तम होकर पवित्र हो; तू क्रतु (यज्ञ-विधि) को जानने वाला सर्वोत्तम मद है—महान, अत्यन्त द्युति-सम्पन्न मद।
